The location was very good, it seemed safe though it was in the city center as it was near a police station. And there were places to eat just outside it. Our room looked decent, it was airconditioned there was 1 cabinet where you could store or hang your clothes, a small side table, a TV, and a private bathroom.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
